I must say that I adore Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry!
And my class quadruple adores Gooney.
And my class quadruple adores Gooney.
I just finished reading this to my class last week and this one little story has SO many good teaching points for mini lessons. Plus, Gooney Bird Greene models wonderful story telling!

I love to read The Amazing World of Stuart. The students love Stuart and all his adventures. I've never read Gooney, but I've always wanted to read it. Maybe that will be my next one to read after Stuart! Thanks for sharing and the opportunity at a giveaway!

I really like The City of Ember when I taught 5th grade. Last year I taught 3rd and they loved The Secret of Droon.
ReplyDeleteMy second graders enjoy hearing me read the Magic Tree House series. I read the first one aloud and the rest fly off the shelves! I love Gooney Bird Greene and my kids always do too!
ReplyDeleteI love reading Have You Filled a Bucket? It's a great way to kick off the school year!
ReplyDeleteI have so many...but one book I love to read is Spoon. It is great for reminding us we all have special talents and not to envy others since they might be envious of us.
